Orlando, get ready for a wave of excitement! Beloved Australian pups Bluey and Bingo are officially coming to U.S. Disney parks—including Walt Disney World right here in Central Florida—and Disney Cruise Line. With their huge fanbase among both kids and parents, the arrival of Bluey and Bingo is set to bring a fresh, playful energy to Orlando’s theme park scene. Here’s a complete guide to what’s coming, when you can experience it, and what it means for Orlando locals and visitors alike.
Bluey and Bingo: Who Are the Heeler Sisters?
If your family hasn’t yet caught “Bluey” fever, here’s the scoop. Bluey and Bingo are the main characters of the wildly popular Australian animated series “Bluey,” which airs on Disney Junior and streams on Disney+. The show follows the imaginative adventures of Bluey, a six-year-old blue heeler pup, her younger sister Bingo, and their parents Bandit and Chilli. What sets “Bluey” apart is its heartwarming stories, positive messages, and playful look at everyday family life, all wrapped up in humor that appeals to both kids and adults.
Since debuting in 2018, “Bluey” has become a global phenomenon. In Orlando, the show’s popularity is evident in local toy stores, schoolyard games, and even themed birthday parties. The addition of Bluey and Bingo to Disney parks is a big win for families looking for new reasons to visit Walt Disney World.
Exclusive Orlando Debut: Bluey at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
The biggest news for Orlando residents and tourists is the launch of a brand-new Bluey experience at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney announced that Bluey and Bingo will be making their U.S. park debut with a special interactive show and character meet-and-greet experience. This will give Orlando families the chance to meet their favorite Heeler pups up close, snap some unforgettable photos, and enjoy immersive activities themed around Bluey’s world.
When does it start? The Bluey experience at Animal Kingdom is set to debut later this year, with Disney promising more details on exact dates and special events soon. The location choice is especially exciting for Orlando visitors, as Animal Kingdom’s focus on animals, play, and exploration fits perfectly with Bluey’s adventurous spirit.
For locals, this means another unique attraction in our backyard—one that’s sure to be a hit with young kids and fans of the show. Expect increased park attendance on debut days and during special Bluey-themed weekends, so plan your visit accordingly!
Bluey and Bingo Expand to Other U.S. Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line
While Walt Disney World in Orlando is the heart of the action, Bluey and Bingo will also roll out at other Disney parks across the United States, including Disneyland in California. Additionally, Disney Cruise Line will feature special Bluey events and meet-and-greets on select sailings. This expansion means families from Orlando and beyond can enjoy Bluey magic whether they’re visiting another park or setting sail on a Disney cruise from nearby Port Canaveral.
For Orlando-based families, the Disney Cruise Line connection is especially exciting. Many Central Florida residents take advantage of Disney cruises departing from the area, so now you can meet Bluey and Bingo both on land and at sea.
What to Expect: Activities, Merchandise, and More
Disney has promised an immersive experience for Bluey fans, and Orlando’s Animal Kingdom will be at the forefront. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Character Meet-and-Greets: Get ready for hugs, high-fives, and photo ops with Bluey and Bingo.
- Interactive Play Zones: Kids can immerse themselves in imaginative games inspired by episodes of the show—think “Keepy Uppy” and “Magic Xylophone.”
- Live Shows: Special performances will bring Bluey’s world to life with music and dance, making it a perfect family entertainment option.
- Merchandise: Exclusive Bluey-themed merchandise will be available, from plush toys to apparel, so fans can take a piece of the experience home.
Orlando’s vibrant tourism industry means new character experiences often bring a boost to local businesses, from hotels and restaurants to souvenir shops. Expect to see Bluey-themed treats and products popping up throughout the city as the launch approaches.
Why Orlando Families Should Be Excited
Disney’s decision to debut the Bluey experience at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom underscores Orlando’s ongoing status as a family entertainment capital. For local families, this means easy access to one of the hottest new attractions in the country. For visitors, it’s another can’t-miss reason to add Orlando to their travel plans.
Parks are sure to see increased attendance, especially among families with preschoolers and elementary-aged kids. If you’re an Orlando resident, consider visiting on weekdays or after the initial launch rush for a more relaxed experience. And for those planning trips from outside Orlando, be sure to book accommodations early—Bluey’s arrival is expected to be a major draw!
